In this case, however, the host had reckoned without the guest, for, when asked to play, Chopin exclaimed, "But, my dear sir, I have eaten so little." The other instance occurs in one of his letters, where he says of the pianist Aloys Schmitt, that he was forty years old, and his compositions eighty a bon mot worthy of Heine. There was much, indeed, in common between Chopin and Heine.
I ordered you to have Harwood watch him." "Yes, sir; but the mate slipped out o' sight in the fog. He's somewhar aboard, but we ain't been able ter put hands on him nowhar yet." "Never mind him; the fellow can do no harm now. Move back slowly lads. Schmitt and I will be the last ones out. Pick up that cutlass, Schmitt. We must act before those devils down there wake up again."
I hide for Yacob, an' I get Schmitt in der back and I only want Yacob. He send me to der pen for sure yet next time. I hate Yon Yacob." A little silence, then Hans murmured: "I didn't go to Kansas City. I coom back to Gretchen's home by Little Wolf. I hide where I watch for Yacob. I shoot twice to be sure of Yacob, an' Schmitt, hidin' in der crack by der roat, get one shot.
It's all complete: the big silver urn polished up and steaming sandwiches and cakes made, flowers about, us all dolled up and nobody to it! Oh, it's a scream!" "But don't anyone come?" says I. "Hardly," says Tessie, "unless you count Mrs. Fizzenmeyer, the delicatessen lady; or Madame Tebeau, the little hairdresser; or the Schmitt girls, from the corner bakery.
After Debussy comes Dukas, Ravel, Florent Schmitt, Rogier-Ducasse, men who seem to have caught anew the spirit of the eighteenth-century music and given it to us not through the poetic haze of Debussy, but in gleaming, brilliant phrases. There is promise in Schmitt.
It reminded him of old times to see Pete. The vacant store, too, aroused dubious memories, for there he had stolen many an apple in the days when Adolf Schmitt had his "cash grocery" on the premises, and used to stand in the doorway with his white apron on, shaking his fist as Tom scurried down the street and calling, "I'll strafe you, you young loafer!"
"We two stood directly facing it about three feet away in the hall. "The half hour passed., Captain Handel looked every minute at his watch, and Captain Schmitt kept saying, 'Wait, wait; be fair. "At last the time was up. They went to the door. Captain Schmitt straightened his saber belt, and threw the door wide. "He looked, then he dashed in, almost upsetting Captain Handel. The room was empty.
Schmitt roared out a Dutch oath, and before I knew fully what had happened, his gun, sent whirling above me, had crashed into the uplifted torch. Again it was black, hideous night, through which the eye could perceive nothing. Even the noise ceased, but a hand gripped my shoulder. "Who are you?" "Nigger Sam, sah. Mistah Watkins sez it's all done fixed." "Where is he?"
Florent Schmitt, in spite of his German surname, is thoroughly French in his manner and idiom, though they are not of the style of Debussy; he has written some beautiful things for the piano; a set of short pieces which are little gems.
"Name yerselves, bunkies I can't see yer." "Simmes." "Schmitt." "Ravel DeLasser." "Carter." "Jacob Johansen." "Sam." "That's enough; you lads remain here with me. Have Harwood watch LeVere, while the rest of you get out the boats." "How many, sir?" "The two quarter-boats will hold us all. Knock out the plugs in the others and Watkins!" "Ay, ay, sir."
